wetlandwiggy 's review for:

The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie

---

I feel about this book, in many ways, how I felt about 100 Years of Solitude. The prose is truly beautiful and inventive, which made it enjoyable to read. I did not know what the shit was going on with the details of the plot at most times, and I think I lacked a cultural reference for many key aspects of the book. I gave it three stars for me, but I can totally see why this might be a five star book for someone with slightly different taste.
